フランシス・マツタロウ大使を始めとする駐日パラオ共和国大使館は4月23日(土)に横浜インターナショナル・テニス・コミュニティ(YITC)で開催されました第１回Pacific Day に参加しました。昨年はPalau Day として開催されましたが、今年は駐日太平洋島嶼国7カ国(フィジー共和国・マーシャル諸島共和国・ミクロネシア連邦・パラオ共和国・パプアニューギニア・サモア独立国・トンガ王国)の大使館の特命全権大使や代表が集まり開催されました。

The Embassy of the Republic of Palau in Japan participated in the 1st Pacific Day held at Yokohama International Tennis Community (YITC) on April 23rd, 2016. Ambassador Matsutaro participated in this event as a tennis player. This event was held as Palau Day last year, but was expanded to 7 Pacific Island Countries (Republic of Fiji, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of Palau, Papua New Guinea, Independent State of Samoa, Kingdom of Tonga) with Embassies in Japan, and Ambassadors and Representatives from each Embassy participated in the event.

Rain has been observed in all of Palau for the past few days. With relief support from nations worldwide, a critical situation has passed. The State of Emergency expired and no further extensions are expected as of now. But still, not enough rain has fallen to solve the water shortage.
